Role Project Design & Implementation

 

Located within Zülfü Livaneli Freedom Park, the Art School and Café was designed as a public cultural facility open to the residents of Beylikdüzü. The project serves as a cultural landmark dedicated to a living artist and was inaugurated together with the surrounding park as a unified public space.

Front Gate(Opening Day), Public Park

Developed within a fast-track design and construction process, the building was realized using a lightweight steel structural system. A transparent and permeable façade approach strengthens the connection between interior and exterior spaces, supporting social interaction within the park environment.

Conceived as a venue for art education, workshops, and public gatherings, the facility functions as an active cultural hub throughout the day, integrating a café program with educational spaces. The project represents a contemporary municipal park structure that brings together culture, art, and public life within an urban context.
